There's nothing like a great coat to help lift the gloom of a rainy day and this sleek offering hits the nail on the head. Available in several color options, this garment manages to look great while also serving a purpose and, like the little black dress, is one that you can keep for seasons to come.

Embrace the feel of a misty, foggy day with one of the hottest runway looks for fall: the gray wash. A light grey smoky eye that's sheer and not overdone was all the rage on the catwalks of Alexander Wang and Derek Lam.

Here, too, a ponytail is a great option. Slick hair back with some gel, tie it off into a low-slung look and you'll look great despite the inclement weather.

Leather jacket

This feminine version of the classic leather biker jacket is certainly a piece to covet. Whether you pair it with a dress and heels for work or with jeans and a tee on weekends, it'll always ratchet your cool quotient up a notch -- or six.

A fun way to play up the "bad girl" image: embrace the 90s grunge hair and makeup that's come roaring bac. It's a cool look that's both on trend and the answer to every lazy girl's prayers. Makeup is minimal except for the eye, which is smoky but doesn't need to perfectly applied. Hair is on the messy/mussed side and loaded with texturizing product.

Graphic print dress

Another "Look at me!" piece, this black and white print sheath dress (which, btw, would look fabulous paired with the leather jacket) is a figure-flattering find that's done in one of the season's hottest looks: the bold print.

Amplify the trend by going metallic with your eyeshadow (so very hot for fall) and then scale back just a tad by going more sedate with your hair. An elaborate bun -- which has replaced last year's waterfall braid as the must-wear hairstyle -- would complete the look perfectly.
